Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Topic options: 
A. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
D. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
G. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
H. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
I. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
J. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
K. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to apply what they have learned in this section to compare a number to the product of that number with a fraction. There are two cases where the fraction has a value of 1. Students may identify that the value of the fraction is 1 and use what they know about multiplying a number by 1. They may also use their knowledge of how to multiply fractions and the calculations for these products have been made simpler so that students can find the product to make the comparison. For the other problems, the numbers are sufficiently complex that the most efficient way to compare is to think about the size of the factors.

Synthesis: Before the whole-class discussion, give students time to meet with 2–3 partners to share and get feedback on their response to whether the expressions are
\(<\)
,
\(>\)
, or
\(=\)
. Invite listeners to ask questions, to press for details and to suggest mathematical language. Give students 2–3 minutes to revise their written explanation based on the feedback they receive.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their solution for comparing
\(\frac{10}{10} \times \frac{1}{2}\)
and
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
.
“How do you know that
\(\frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2}\)
?” (If you cut the half into 10 equal pieces then you get 10 pieces and there are 20 in the whole.)
“Can you use the equation
\(\frac{10}{10} = 1\)
to see that
\(\frac{10}{10} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\)
?” (Yes, because 1 times any number is that same number.)
Invite students to share their solution for comparing
\(\frac{103}{104}\)
and
\(\frac{103}{104} \times \frac{103}{104}\)
.
“Did you find the product to compare?” (No, the numbers are big so it would have taken a long time.)
“What did you do to compare the numbers?” (I know that
\(\frac{103}{104}\)
is less than 1, it’s
\(1 - \frac{1}{104}\)
. So when I multiply it by any number I get less than that number.)
